Star Wars should learn from Andor and stop making Disney Plus shows that are so obsessed with the Jedi (www.yahoo.com)

  • Star Wars Disney Plus shows should move away from Jedi-centric stories and explore other aspects of the Star Wars universe
  • Andor is a successful example of a Star Wars show without Jedi, focusing on the Empire's control and morally gray characters
  • Suggestions for new Star Wars show ideas include Pod Racing, Jawa Storage Wars, and One Man and His Droid, among others

What Disney should do is focus away from the ~100 years that take place during the Skywalker saga. Theyre coming out with an old republic show, finally, after owning the property for over 10 years now. Its a big ass galaxy, fill it with something.

But of course, obligatory Tatooine plot

Of course. Everything important that ever happened has to involve a far-off backwater that nobody's even heard of.

(I actually like Tatooine's inclusion in KOTOR purely because it makes the planet an even more transparent Dune ripoff)

Old republic isnt less sith and jedi, its many many more.

Nah, it's the High Republic era, aka Disney fanfic because they can't figure what to do next with their nostalogy sequel era.

I've been saying this forever, the games and expanded universe figured this out decades ago. It let's you do whatever you want because you don't have to deal with accidentally retconning something or making sure it fits the existing timeline.
